Sorry to hear that you're not too great at the moment
@charlie1465, hope you feel better soon. Seems we're all having weird issues of some sort.
I had to go to hospital on Thursday 28/11 @22:00, due to a massive amount of pain, numbness and altered sensation in my right arm and shoulder with swelling as well. Had a horrible time as I can't leave my partner by herself as she's my support network and also has muscular dystrophy (still don't know exactly what type) and she has to use a wheelchair out and about due to some mobility limitations.
Was sent from A+E to an out of hours doctors and had to wait 5 hours to see a doctor, who then said the same thing as the paramedic that assessed me. It's neurological, and I don't know why you've been sent here as we can't do anything here.
So was then sent back to A+E with the use of only one arm and not given any help with getting me and my partner there. So had to suck it up and do it, which raised my righteous indignance levels to 11.
Had X Ray's of shoulder and forearm after another assessment in A+E where bloods were taken and promised a ultrasound scan, was then sent to an ambulatory care unit in the hospital which was more of a joke. As they wanted to take bloods, even though they had been taken. They didn't even check the system for them!...
As at this point they're thinking that I could have a VTE or clot without anything in the blood work confirming it!...
Got the right arm ultrasound scanned, and of course me being me. Asked the ultrasonographer what they were seeing and they were wonderful, and confirmed no VTE whatsoever.
So back to this ambulatory care unit, where when I was called again the staff member could see that I had limitations and was racked with pain, and they walked off so that I had to pursue them.
They then promptly reiterate no VTE and can see that I have issues and discharge me form their care, and then complain about my attitude towards them without looking at their own!..
So at 12:00 29/11, that's 14 hours folks. I was kicked to the curb without any real idea what the problem is and nothing really put into place to find out either. And aren't they're supposed to have a duty of care!...
So not a great experience at all, and my partner is worried sick about me. And yes, she can be a pain. But she's my pain and I don't know what I'd do without her.
